Reply | Season Ticket Prices Frozen 25/26 season
at 09:18 30 Apr 2025
York City have announced that their early bird prices for this year’s season tickets have been frozen.
“We can confirm the following season ticket information:
Frozen Early Bird prices!
Early bird offer ends 16th May.”
The above is a bit misleading; they have “frozen” this season’s EARLY BIRD prices at last season’s STANDARD price. From lower down on their website.
“As a show of our appreciation for our loyal season ticket holders and our acknowledgement of the rising cost of living, those who renew their new season ticket before the 16th May will have their season ticket price frozen from last year’s standard pricing.”
Their early bird prices are actually around 11% higher this season than last season, for example an adult price going from £315 to £350.
They have however already sold over 1,000 season tickets with over 500 going to NEW season ticket purchasers. |

Oldham have increased their early bird season ticket prices by 5% across all age categories for next season. For example, an adult season ticket price going from £320 in 2024-25 to £336 in 2025-26.
Their prices go up by 25% outside of the early bird window, e.g. an adult season ticket increases from £336 to £420. |

Last season we had some of the lowest season card prices in the NL.
RAFC had an adult Sandy Lane terrace season card price of £200 but there were two clubs with a lower adult price for standing in a terrace, Eastleigh at £199 and Fylde at £190 (Fylde had two prices for standing depending on the terrace, £190 and £230).
With Fylde being relegated and with Dale freezing the season card prices I wondered if RAFC would be the NL or EFL club with the lowest priced adult offering but Eastleigh have lowered their early bird price for adult standing on the terrace to £175, they even had a super early bird offer in January for adult terrace standing of £99. |

I've just voted for David Tully. I wish other upcoming voting decisions were as easy. |

Interesting.
The value put on the land that the ground is built on is similar to a rough estimate that James1980 and I came to by comparing the Crown Oil Arena ground footprint to that some old demolished factory housing development land price in Oldham. This was on another thread from December last year but I can't find it on the forum. I did find a thread about my and James1980's discussion. My comment then (half way down page) about an outside investor seems even more relevant to today's circumstances.

I received mine 15 minutes ago. Just read the FAQs. Doesn't say much more. [Post edited 21 Feb 2024 22:51]

Yes they get their pay before anybody else gets paid anything.
If the club went into administration would they get a points deduction even if it went to a new owner? |

Sorry DDB
I've edited my reply. Administration is an option, just not a good one. |

Imagine that you own outright a house worth £1million but you have zero cash in the bank.
You are asset rich but cash poor.
You get a bill for £10,000 that you MUST pay but you do not have the funds to pay it. You could try to borrow some cash but you find that you cannot use your house as collateral because of something in the deeds (Morris amendment, National League).
Your only options is to sell your house to pay the bill (liquidate your assets).
This is similar to the situation at RAFC.
Voluntary administration would be an option but this would only add costs. The administrator would try to sell RAFC as a going concern, probably at a lower price than it is worth.
If an offer of say £2 million was tabled then they would likely accept it. They would then take their cut and distribute any remainder to shareholders.
The new owners would have the business (club) and debts to pay but their £2 million would be in shareholders hands and not the club's coffers.
If they could not sell the club as a going concern then they would then liquidate the company assets anyway, again take their cut, pay the outstanding bills and distribute what's left to shareholders. [Post edited 21 Feb 2024 12:32]

I have read both documents and have some opinions that I will keep to myself until I have seen the FAQ sheet from the board.
I will however point out a couple of things if the EGM proposals are agreed (as I understand them).
If the chairman converted all the £566k debt owed to him into equity by buying the new A-class shares @ £0.22 he would purchase around 2,573,000 of the shares taking his total shareholding to 2,683,000 and the total number of shares issued would increase to around 3,550,000.
This would mean he would own just over 75% of the club and jointly with the other directors’ shares, the board would own over 80% of the issued shares.
Someone asked earlier why the over 90% shareholder threshold was “important” to any new investor. It is perhaps achieving the minority shareholding below 10% that is important.
A 10%+ minority shareholding has the right to have the annual company accounts audited.
I would like to know who wrote / composed / had input to the resolution proposals. |

I posted this on another thread.
To be safe from relegation we need around 55 points. (Keith Hill used to say that this was his first target at the start of a season and it looks like it still holds true).
To get into the final promotion slot we need around 77 points.
This is a link to a spreadsheet that automatically updates from Wikipedia. It shows the average match points we need to hit these targets.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/111ZS9XY9h1-QtlugZ7MdFGpcVfoewjHiyNaBIDGz
At the moment we are averaging 1.32 points per game. We have 15 games left and we need to average 0.98 points per game to reach the 55 point target and 2.4 points per game to hit the 77 point target.
I would like to see the team hit the 55 point target as soon as possible, even if the football is poor, and then "just go for it" playing entertaining no fear football for any remaining matches on the outside chance of hitting 77 points or whatever is needed to reach the playoffs. |

I emailed the club to ask about this and have received a reply, paraphrased below.
They have looked at it. Fleetwood, who also have a small number of fans, do it on the same ticketing platform as RAFC use, it hasn’t helped them increase attendances or revenue.
There are problems with supporters opting in and out for different months and the monitoring of what they are entitled to.
There is a significant cost that needs to be passed onto fans.
From the club’s position, the subscription model removes the cash flow boost needed during the summer months where the club has costs but no revenues. [Post edited 9 Feb 2024 10:21]

"The price for a Sandy Lane bundle is £120, whilst one in the Smith Metals Family Stand is £132.
Please note, they are only available to purchase in-person or over the phone."
From the club site. |

I 100% agree James. This is the way forward. Most people pay for utility bills, phone bills, insurance etc this way.
It would bring a regular known fixed income into the club every month even in the summer period when there is little other income as well as helping fans to budget.
However, like insurance for example, it may have to include a small extra monthly charge, for example if next season the price of an adult season card in the main stand increased to £350.
This could be paid for by a one off payment of £350 or alternatively 12 equal monthly payment of £30, paying a total of £360.
It is important to the club to encourage some of the fans to pay for the season card up front in one payment as this provides needed cash between the seasons when other sources of income are low. [Post edited 8 Feb 2024 9:54]
